<p>Effective support of the head and neck during high impact accidents or rapid or sudden acceleration or deceleration of riders of motorcycles, ski-mobiles, jet skis and power boats, is provided bya cervical protection system having a gas-filled bag (110) rapidly deployable from a collar (105) disposed around the base of a helmet (101). When deployed, the bag (110) extends to the mid sternal area anteriorly, to approximately the fourth or fifth thoracic vertebrae posteriorly, and laterally on the shoulders to a point approximately midway between the sternomastoid muscle group and the lateral tip of the scapula, and holds the wearer's head in slight extension to mitigate physical harm.</p> |
